Every day for 10 days I’m gonna share something that brings me joy.

Why? To remind myself why it’s worth fighting fascism. And I hope that it brings a little delight to your timeline as well.

Day 6:
Spending a day at a nice #spa / #sauna, usually with my #ebook #ereader chock-full of nice #rfc and #spec documents. Yes, I find reading those *extremely* relaxing.

Day 5:
Doing *extremely* #nerdy things *whenever* I can. Sometimes surreptitiously. *I* know why I tried comitting the #Origami instructions for a #unicorn to memory ;-) (Hint: #BladeRunner #Cyberpunk )

Day 4:
Being able to enjoy the #beauty of the #universe, our ever-increasing #knowledge about it, and the #brilliance with which people have figured out an amazing amount of detail from tiny slivers of #evidence, e.g. the last scattering.

Day 3:
Some #relaxing #vacation where I can be out in #nature, preferably with some #thunderstorm, etc.; Usually either #Hammock-#Camping, or No-electronic-devices on an island I refer to as #OuterQwghlm in reference to my username.

Day 2:
A well-stocked (See Tie-In #cookbooks hidden in day 1) and -organized (#Ikea #Skadis for the utensils, and #FrenchCleats to hang everything onto the walls) #kitchen.

And of course I get punished for throwing money in the direction of #Hasbro #WotC ... I caved and bought the #DnD #DnD5e #AltCover #2025MonsterManual after all... and one of the signatures (bundle of pages) is missing (161-192) with the following (193-224) included twice... Fuck me for throwing money their way, I guess. Who's willing to bet they did shit #QC because they expect everyone to just use their #DnDBeyond crap anyway?
I am very much against "witch hunts", but the "old white men blithely ignoring any unpleasantries" at the #FSF #FreeSoftwareFoundation @fsf has reached a point where I can no longer in good conscience call myself a member. I appreciate what they started and I'll continue to care about software freedom, but as an *organisation* they fail the most basic requirements of ethical behaviour.
Blåhaj is thinking of you.
I absolutely *love* the 1st Edition #CairnRPG cover. The stark black and white with thorny underbrush powerfully evokes a sense of the dark woods of german folk- and fairytales I grew up with (I still got the older, more "grimm", pardon the pun, versions, where people cut off part of their feet or are forced to dance themselves to death). The 2nd Edition seems to go for a more conventional fantasy rpg look, and while it's not bad by any means, I feel something is lost there :-/
